Founded by Siv Cheruvu (Assistant Professor, UT-Dallas), the Junior Law and Politics Research Community (JLPRC) started in early 2021 for graduate students, post-docs, and assistant professors to workshop research projects virtually.
The JLPRC hosts two workshops each month, each with its own format. The first workshop each month involves a collection of informal “bullet talks,” for scholars to share early stage research. The second workshop follows a formal presentation format, allowing scholars to receive in-depth feedback from a faculty discussant and from their peers during Q&A.
Interested in presenting at either of these workshops or in participating, either as a discussant or as an audience member? Register here
